I really really really wish Gibson would quit messing with the Les Paul design already.  

No!  I do not want a Burger King Commemmorative edition Les Paul with a 24kt gold crown embedded in the headstock.  'Cause nothing says "rock and roll" like Burger King.   :shock:

No!  I do not want a Les Paul that plays .mp3s.  Or downloads them.

Instead of messing with perfection, I wish Gibson would focus its energies on making Les Pauls like in the old days, before everything started to suck.  Maybe if Gibson could get that right I would consider allowing Henry J to foist his cr@ptastic ideas on the world.

My advice to Gibson would be

1. Dump the R&D team, they are a waste of space...
2. Employ better QC and pay them more!
3. Copy PRS' success in making the best production instruments atm (IMO).
4. Try and go back to the golden years of Gibson instruments.

This is probably a huge oversimplification of issues though, but it would be nice if it could be done.

In the meantime I'll continue to save for my PRS.

Wow, this thread has taken a weird turn.

I'd rather see Gibson putting straplocks on their guitars than all that so called innovative stuff we don't really need.

I REALLY can't figure out for the life of me why they don't come with straplocks!

The PRS SC will never match the tone of a Gibson LP but to be fair I don't really think it's meant to. I prefer to think of the SC as a guitar in it's own right, rather than the obvious comparison with Gibson LP's.

cr@p no one said anything about a PRS SC. If I wanted an LP I would go MIJ.

Well it would, wouldn't it? ... lol.

If you copy a LP design and make it of the same high quality materials that an LP is made of, then it's going to sound like a LP.

It can't really be avoided to be honest.

On a side note I had a nice drool to myself over these pics of PRS's. Some beautiful guitars there.

I'd be sorely tempted to take the plunge now on one of those Miras if they didn't all have Wide Thin necks.

Not a fan of WT necks? What are you hoping for?
